AS long as the correspondent from
Louis Corners writes with the motive of
paying off grudge which he entertains
against a certain party, for two success
sive years, we implore him not to become
too sarcastic, and thus bring upon him.
self public odium. IL he lays aside all
bitter feeling and permits his pen to
scribble down less ambitious and envi-
Gus ideas, and checks his GLIB tongue
somewhat, he'll become undoubtedly
more tolerable, and we wouldn't hesitate
at all in believing that his genius might
win him some laurels in the future. And
verify this should give him more pleasure
than roasting us.
We thank him for the interest he has
hiterto taken in our behalf; and we soil
cit him to continue reporting the out
come of our meetings. thus lessening our
work.
We shall not attempt to openly con-
tradict his item in the last issue, but,
were we not under obligation, we should
request the hasty reporter to be more ac-
curate, and not deceive the public by err
roneous statements. We beg the teach
ers of Schleswig and contiguous towns
to be present at the teachers meeting to
be held near Louis Corners, on the Goth.
of this month, and unless great obstacles
turn up, we shall certainly not fail to
come.
As the gentleman of Louis Corners IN

the same day we did for the meeting, and
put some of our members on his pro-
gramme, we feel constrained to recall our
programme. It must be remembered
that we are none of the stubborn kind, de-
termined to hold our meeting, at GER
tain locality, but willing to sacrifice all
our leisure simply for holding meeting
somewhere in our town. Experience has
taught us that Louis Corners is not the
proper place for teachers meeting, and

ganize a successful meeting there, we

still the incumbent of said school en-
phatically asserts that his school-house
is the only proper place for meeting,
and uses all his influence to break up our
meeting, which every member pronounc-
ed beneficial and successful, in spite of

We consider such conduct deceitful
and wholly unbecoming brother teach

a successful one. At least we shall do
our best to make it so. But don't be SO
conceited now, sir, as to think that we
have to yield, owing to our proximity to
Calumet teachers, which in your estima-

| yield, indeed, sir, to have for once a sue

results, and secondly to quench all ami

| We do all this, Dan; but we want you
to check your inGatiate appetite for argu-
ing insignificant or rather ridiculous
points. And furthermore we want you
! to act so as to make us believe that your
object is to learn, and not simply display
your learning by cornering somebody
with less Zip" than you have and thus
repel us again.
Respectfully Yours,
